Unlike a lot of conversion vans, this 1994 Ford E-150 retains its factory roof height, which means you sacrifice some space inside, but you’ll still be able to fit into any parking garage and underneath most low-hanging objects. There’s also a strong 6.0-liter V8 under the hood and a tow hitch around back with integrated four- and seven-pin connectors, making this van a great tow rig. It’s loaded with amenities, though, and offers a custom exterior with 20-in wheels, ground effects and more, plus an integrated TV, a navigation system, Bluetooth with a satellite radio, a reasonably modern interior with light and dark gray leather upholstery, power folding seats and even a handheld vacuum in the trunk. A 2018 model with a little over 12,000 miles on the odometer, it’s virtually brand-new and carries an asking price of close to $50,000. Take this Chevrolet Express, for example. Here are five of our favorites currently listed for sale on Autotrader.ĭespite falling out of fashion somewhat in recent years, conversion vans can still command a pretty penny. While they were popular in the 1980s and ’90s, conversion vans have largely gone away in recent years in favor of SUVs and larger Class B RVs, and with so many available on the used market, we have to wonder why more van-lifers haven’t picked one up. These full-size vans offer loads of space, great amenities and good reliability and parts availability - they were designed for van life before #vanlife was even a thing. In the age of #vanlife and minimalist travel, it seems that Americans have forgotten just how awesome conversion vans are.
